F92: Mixed disorders of conduct and emotions
Mixed disorders of conduct and emotions, falling under the F92 range in the ICD-10 classification, refer to a group of mental health conditions in which both emotional and behavioral problems are present. Typically occurring in children and adolescents, these disorders are characterized by a persistent pattern of antisocial, aggressive, or defiant behavior, combined with symptoms of emotional distress such as fear, anxiety, or depression. The exact causes are not completely understood, yet these conditions often arise from a complex interplay of genetic, biochemical, and environmental factors. The progression of such disorders is variable and may change as the child grows. If not addressed, they can lead to difficulties in academic, social, and familial settings, as well as a heightened risk of developing additional mental health issues in adulthood. The brain is the affected system with these disorders, impacting how a person thinks, feels, and behaves.
